Will this bolt directly onto my factory radiator shroud?

Yes. This assembly uses factory mounting points—no drilling or shroud modification. Drop it in place and secure with the included hardware.

Does the fan blade need balancing before installation?

The assembly ships pre-balanced. Inspect the blade for shipping damage before install, but you won't need to rebalance it unless the blade gets bent during handling.

What if the fan doesn't engage my clutch properly?

Test-fit before committing to final mounting. If the engagement is loose or misaligned, verify the shroud positioning and clutch threads are clean. Contact support with photos if alignment issues persist after initial fitting.
